Over Lesson 13–7
1) What is the probability of getting a 7 while rolling two number cubes?
2) What is the probability of rolling an odd number when rolling two number cubes?
Over Lesson 13-6
You have already found the probability of simple events. (Lesson 13–6)
• Use tree diagrams or the Fundamental Counting Principle to count outcomes.
• Use tree diagrams or the Fundamental Counting Principle to find the probability of an event.
• tree diagrams
• Fundamental Counting Principle
A diagram used to show the total number of possible outcomes.
If there are two events that occur separately from each other, the way they occur together is their product (example: if I have five shirts and three pants, I have 5 • 3 or 15 different potential outfits)
Use a Tree Diagram to Count Outcomes
GREETING CARDS A greeting card maker offers three birthday greetings in four possible colors, as shown below. Draw a tree diagram to find the number of cards that can be made from three greeting choices and four color choices.

ICE CREAM An ice cream parlor offers a special on one-scoop sundaes with one topping. The ice cream parlor has 5 different flavors of ice cream and three different choices for toppings. How many different sundaes can be made?
Use the Fundamental Counting Principle
CELL PHONES A cell phone company offers 3 payment plans, 4 styles of phones, and 6 decorative phone wraps. How many phone options are available?
Use the Fundamental Counting Principle.
The number of types of
payment plans times
the number of styles of phones times
the number of decorative
wraps equals
the numberof possible outcomes.
3 × 4 × 6 = 72
Answer: There are 72 possible phone options.

SANDWICHES A sandwich shop offers 4 choices for bread, 5 choices for meat, and 3 choices for cheese. If a customer can make one choice from each category, how many different sandwiches can be made?

TOYS A toy robot moves straight ahead until it hits an obstacle. Then it turns, with equal chances of turning left or right. If the robot makes three turns, what is the probability that all three will be left turns?
First, find the number of outcomes the robot can move with a tree diagram.
